Example equipment 30 may include, without limitation, monitoring devices, surgical navigation systems (e.g., Medtronic Stealth Station), robotics systems (e.g., Mazor X Robotic Guidance System), surgical equipment and/or the like. For example, an embodiment of the system may integrate the data obtained in the client system 102 and/or surgeon system 104 with the pre-operative planning software in the Mazor X system software to provide the Mazor system with the information obtained through an embodiment of the system to plan, revise, adjust or otherwise alter, and thereafter conduct a surgical procedure.

As illustrated by FIG. 1, the client system 102, surgeon system 104, analytics system 106, hospital record system 108 and/or an operating room system 110 may communicate with one or more of the other systems via a communication network 112 a-N. A communication network 112 a-N may be a local area network (LAN), a wide area network (WAN), a mobile or cellular communication network, an extranet, an intranet, the Internet, a short range communication network and/or the like. Although FIG. 1 shows separate communication networks 112 a-N, it is to be understood that these networks, or some combination of these networks, may be implemented as a single communication network.

FIG. 2 illustrates an example method of generating a surgical assessment according to an embodiment. As illustrated by FIG. 2, patient information may be obtained 200 by an analytics system. An analytics system may obtain 200 patient information from one or more client electronic devices.

Patient information may include information that a patient provides directly. Patient information may include personal information about the patient, such as name, address, gender, contact information and/or the like. Patient information may also include information about the patient's condition. For instance, a patient may be assessed for spinal surgery, so the patient may provide information pertaining to the patient's back condition, pain level, treatments and/or the like. Patient information may be provided by a patient or with a patient's approval.

In an embodiment, a patient may provide patient information via a client electronic device. A patient may use his or her own client electronic device to provide patient information. For example, a patient may provide patient information via an application resident on or accessible via the patient's client electronic device (such as, for example, a mobile phone or a tablet). Alternatively, a patient may provide patient information via a website that is accessible through a laptop computer, a desktop computer or other electronic device.

In an embodiment, a patient may provide patient information using a client electronic device that is not associated with or that belongs to the patient. For instance, a patient who is being evaluated in a clinical setting may be provided an electronic device to use to enter patient information. In yet another example, a third party, such as a healthcare provider, may enter patient information via a client electronic device on a patient's behalf. For instance, a surgeon or other healthcare provider may provide information about a patient's condition such as, for example, results of a physical examination. FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 illustrate example graphical user interfaces that a healthcare provider may use to provide patient information according to various embodiments.

Patient information may include information about a patient that is collected by one or more sensors. Sensors may be positioned on an external portion of a patient on or near an area of patient concern. For instance, a patient may wear a patch or other device on a portion of a patient's lower back that has one or more sensors. The sensors may measure certain values associated with the patient's movement, such as, for example, translation about an x, y, or z axis (e.g., pitch, roll and/or yaw), angular velocity, gravity, pressure, acceleration, gyroscopic rotation and/or rotational orientation, direction in motion, heave, surge, sway, position and/or the like. In this regard, the sensor systems disclosed in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 16/039,592 entitled Load Sensing Assembly for a Spinal Implant, herein by reference in their entirety.

As another example, one or more sensors may be located internally. For instance, one or more sensors may be incorporated into an implant, such as a spinal implant. The sensors may obtain one or more measurements and send one or more measurements to an electronic device located externally to a patient via a wireless communication network. For example, a load sensing assembly of a spinal implant may obtain one or more measurements pertaining to a force between a set screw of the implant and a longitudinal member when the set screw is engaged with an anchoring member of an implant. Alternate sensors may be used within the scope of this disclosure. In this regard, the sensor systems disclosed in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 16/039,592 entitled Load Sensing Assembly for a Spinal Implant, are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

In an embodiment, one or more client electronic devices may send at least a portion of patient information to an analytics system.

Referring back to FIG. 2, an analytics system may receive 202 patient medical information. Patient medical information may include information from a patient's medical or health record, such as, for example, electronic medical record (EMR) data or electronic health record (EHR) data. In certain embodiments, patient medical information may include one or more medical images of at least a portion of a patient's body. A medical image may be a CT scan image, an x-ray image, an MRI image and/or the like.

In various embodiments, an analytics system may receive 202 patient medical information from a hospital record system. Alternatively, a client system may receive patient medical information from a hospital record system, and may provide at least a portion of the patient medical information to the analytics system.

An analytics system may perform one or more image processing techniques on a medical image to calculate one or more relevant measurements from the image, such as, for example, dimensional constraints (e.g., length, width, diameter, height, volume, angulation) for screws, rods, plates, or intervertebral implants and/or potential positioning or locational constraints or optimization for individual implants or multiple implants operating in concert and/or used together to correct one or more conditions. Sagittal mobility may further be assessed using images and related data obtained by various embodiments of the system. In addition, lordosis angles and disc heights may be obtained through various images and data that may be obtained in certain embodiments.

An analytics system may store diagnostic information in one or more data stores of the analytics systems, or in one or more data stores that are accessible by the analytics system. Diagnostic information refers to information pertaining to one or more medical conditions, and/or the treatment of one or more medical conditions. In an embodiment, diagnostic information may include medical journals, articles, research studies and/or the like.

In various embodiments, the diagnostic information may be categorized, labeled or tagged according to the medical condition(s) to which such diagnostic information pertains. For instance, a research study pertaining to the efficacy of spinal implants may be categorized, labeled or tagged as pertaining to “spinal conditions.” In some embodiments, diagnostic information may pertain to more than one medical condition.

Referring back to FIG. 2, an analytics system may identify 204 at least a portion of relevant diagnostic information. An analytics system may ascertain from at least a portion of the received patient information and/or patient medical information a type of medical condition associated with the patient. For instance, an analytics system may parse at least a portion of the received patient information and/or the received patient medical information for one or more key words that correspond to one or more of the categories, labels or tags associated with the diagnostic information. The analytics system may use the parsed information to identify 204 at least a portion of relevant diagnostic information.

In an embodiment, an analytics system may generate 206 a patient assessment based on at least a portion of the patient information, the patient medical information and/or the relevant diagnostic information. For instance; an analytics system may analyze one or more medical images, or portions thereof, to ascertain information pertaining to a patient's medical condition.

In various embodiments, an assessment may be generated using one or more machine learning techniques or models such as, for example, a support vector machine learning model, logistical regression or neural networks. A machine learning model may be trained on a data set for a desired bodily structure, pathology, condition, classification and/or the like.

For example, a machine learning model may be trained on a data set for a particular pathology. The data set may include images indicative of the pathology and/or images not indicative of the pathology. Similarly, a data set may be trained on a data set for a particular condition such as, for example, a broken bone, the presence of a tumor, the presence of a deformity, the existence of trauma and/or the like. The data set may include one or more images indicative of the condition and/or one or more images not indicative of the condition.

For example, a machine learning model may be used to provide a probability of a patient having stenosis. The model may be trained on labeled images depicting stenosis in other individuals. The model may also be trained on labeled images of other conditions that are not stenosis, such as, for example, spondylolisthesis and disc herniation. The labels may correspond to dimensions, properties or characteristics of various components, such as, for example, foraminal height, cord deformation, lateral recess volume, and/or the like. Through this training, the model may learn features in the labeled images.

When a model is applied to an image, it may generate a probability that a patient is exhibiting a pathology or condition defined by the model. The model may be updated based on feedback received from users of the system. For instance, if a model predicts that it is unlikely that a patient has a particular condition, but the patient is diagnosed by a doctor as having that condition, the model may be updated with this information to further refine the model.

In certain embodiments, an analytics system may use pattern matching to determine whether a similarity exists between at least a portion of a patient medical image and at least a portion of one or more images of a data set. For instance, an analytics system may compare an image of a patient's femur with an image of a broken femur to determine if a similarity exists. A similarity may be determined to exist if a pixel-level analysis of the images results in a match within a certain degree of certainty or within a certain standard deviation. If a similarity exists, the analytics system may generate an assessment that includes an indication that the patient's medical images exhibit characteristics consistent with those associated with a broken femur.

Similarly, a machine learning technique may compare an image of a patient's femur with an image of a non-broken femur of a data set to determine if a similarity exists. If a similarity exists, the analytics system may generate an assessment that includes an indication that the patient's medical images exhibit characteristics consistent with those associated with a non-broken femur.

In various embodiments, an analytics system may retrieve condition-specific medical images from a data store that is a part of the analytics system or that is other accessible by the analytics system such as, for example, via a communication channel.

An obtained medical image may be converted to a format that is compatible with a machine learning technique, and the technique may be applied to the image representation.

In other embodiments, an analytics system may analyze one or more medical images to determine a condition classification. A classification may refer to a specific type of medical condition. For instance, a spinal condition may be associated with a variety of different classifications such as, for example, a lumbar degenerative classification, an anterior-cervical classification, a TL complex degenerative classification, a cervical complex degenerative classification, an adult deformity classification, a pediatric deformity classification, a tumor classification and/or a trauma classification. Additional and/or alternate classifications may be used within the scope of this disclosure.

An analytics system may determine a condition classification by applying a machine learning model that compares at least a portion of one or more of the received patient medical images to at least a portion of one or more images associated with either a known classification or a known lack of classification.

For instance, an analytics system may want to determine whether a patient has experienced spinal trauma. The analytics system may apply a machine learning model that compares at least a portion of the medical images of a patient to at least a portion of the retrieved images to determine whether a similarity exists. In certain embodiments, a machine learning model may use pattern matching to determine whether a similarity exists between at least a portion of a patient medical image and at least a portion of a classification-specific medical image.

In various embodiments, an analytics system may analyze one or more medical images to determine one or more dimensions associated with a particular bodily structure. The dimensions may be relevant to one or more implants that may be needed or recommended to treat a patient's condition. For instance, a patient's spinal condition may be recommended to be treated with a spinal implant, such as a screw assembly and a spinal rod (or other similar types of implants). A spinal rod may be attached to the exterior of two or more vertebral members to assist with the treatment of a spinal disorder. Screw assemblies may be used to connect a longitudinal member to a vertebral member. An analytics system may analyze one or more medical images to of at least a portion of a patient's spine to determine one or more dimensions pertaining to one or more of the patient's vertebral members such as, for example, distance between vertebral members. An analytics system may use one or more of the determined dimensions to recommend one or more implant options, as described in more detail below.

In an embodiment, the type of analysis that an analytics system may perform may be based on input received from a user of the system such as for example, a healthcare provider. For instance, a surgeon may provide input indicating that an analytics system should analyze one or more medical images to determine one or more specific dimensions of a bodily structure.

An assessment may include at least a portion of the patient information, the patient medical information, and/or any relevant medical images. An assessment may also include information pertaining to an analysis performed by an analytics system. For instance, if an analytics system analyzed one or more medical images to determine if a certain condition exists, the assessment may include an indication of whether the system determined that the conditioned exists or not. As another example, if the analytics system analyzed one or more medical images to determine a classification associated with a condition, the assessment may include an indication of the classification determined by the system. As yet another example, if the analytics system analyzed one or more medical images to determine one or more dimensions of a portion of interest of a patient, the assessment may include one or more of the dimensions.

In various embodiments, an assessment may include a diagnosis of a medical condition for a patient, the potential for complications, and/or an indication of whether surgery is recommended for the patient. However, in such situations, the recommendations can preferably be confirmed by a licensed medical professional before they are implemented.

In various embodiments, if an analytics system obtained one or more dimensions pertaining to an area of a patient's body, the analytics system may use one or more of the dimensions to determine one or more medical supplies for a procedure. For instance, an analytics system may determine one or more implants or implant components that may be options for the patient based on the obtained dimensions.

In an embodiment, an analytics system may cross reference at least a portion of obtained dimensions with information from a component data store. A component data store may store information pertaining to one or more medical supplies, such as, for example, lengths, widths, diameters, trajectories, weights, volumes, compositions and/or other dimensional information for one or more supplies or components of one or more supplies. In various embodiments, a component data store may also store a unique identifier associated with one or more supplies. A component data store may be implemented as part of an inventory data store, as discussed below, or as a separate data store.

In various embodiments, an analytics system may compare at least a portion of obtained dimensions with one or more dimensions included in a component data store to identify one or more medical supplies that may be used. For instance, an analytics system may determine that a spinal rod having a length of x cm is required for a patient based on a distance between two of the patient's vertebral members. The analytics system may search the component data store for spinal implants having spinal rod components with a length of x cm and include an indication of such spinal implants in an assessment for the patient. Additional and/or alternate components, supplies, measurements and dimensions may be used within the scope of this disclosure.

In an embodiment, an assessment system may analyze the current inventory to determine whether any medical supplies need to be ordered to perform a procedure. For instance, an analytics system may include or have access to one or more data stores that store information about what medical supplies are needed for one or more medical procedures. This information may include descriptions of the supplies, unique identifiers associated with the supplies, a number of required supplies for a procedure and/or the like. The analytics system may use the diagnosis from the generated assessment to identify the specific procedure at issue. The analytics system may use the identified procedure to identify one or more supplies that are needed to perform the procedure.

In an embodiment, the analytics system may cross reference the identified supplies with an inventory data store. For instance, the analytics system may cross reference a unique identifier obtained from a component data store with an inventory data store to determine whether a particular medical supply or component is stocked or not. An inventory data store may store inventory information about medical supplies. This information may include, without limitation, the number of each type of supply that is available or stocked, a unique identifier associated with the supply, location of the supply, and/or the like.

If the analytics system determines that all of the identified supplies are in stock, the analytics system may include this information in its generated assessment. The analytics system may also include information about the supplies, such as, for example, unique identifiers or location. Alternatively, if the analytics system determines that one or more of the identified supplies is not currently in stock, the analytics system may include an indication in the assessment of which supplies will need to be reordered. The analytics system may automatically initiate a re-order of any such supplies by, for example, sending a request to an inventory management system.

In various embodiments, a generated assessment may include an indication of one or more medical supplies or components that are recommended for a procedure. The assessment may also include an indication of whether the particular supply or component is currently stocked or not.

Referring back to FIG. 2, an analytics system may cause 208 at least a portion of a generated assessment to be displayed at one or more client electronic devices and/or surgeon electronic devices. For instance, a surgeon who access a patient's records may be able to access and view the assessment from the surgeon's electronic device. As another example, a patient may be able to access and view his or her own assessment using his or her own electronic device.
